  2. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    [1] [2] Chemical substances may take the form of a single element or chemical compounds. If two or more chemical substances can be combined without reacting, they may form a chemical mixture. [3] If a mixture is separated to isolate one chemical substance to a desired degree, the resulting substance is said to be chemically pure. [4]

  3. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    In the reaction, sodium metal goes from an oxidation state of 0 (a pure element) to +1: in other words, the sodium lost one electron and is said to have been oxidized. On the other hand, the chlorine gas goes from an oxidation of 0 (also a pure element) to −1: the chlorine gains one electron and is said to have been reduced.

  4. Reactivity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_(chemistry)

    The chemical reactivity of a substance can refer to the variety of circumstances (conditions that include temperature, pressure, presence of catalysts) in which it reacts, in combination with the: variety of substances with which it reacts, equilibrium point of the reaction (i.e., the extent to which all of it reacts), and; rate of the reaction.

  6. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    [16] [17] [18] A molecule may be homonuclear, that is, it consists of atoms of one chemical element, as with two atoms in the oxygen molecule (O 2); or it may be heteronuclear, a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with water (two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H 2 O). A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that ...

  7. Gold compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_compounds

    Some free halogens react with gold. [6] Gold is strongly attacked by fluorine at dull-red heat [7] to form gold(III) fluoride AuF 3. Powdered gold reacts with chlorine at 180 °C to form gold(III) chloride AuCl 3. [8] Gold reacts with bromine at 140 °C to form gold(III) bromide AuBr 3, but reacts only very slowly with iodine to form gold(I ...

  8. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [ 3 ] Notable examples include alkali metals , lithium through caesium , and alkaline earth metals , magnesium through barium .

  9. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.
